kahles k624i elevation

[Camoman1]

Sighted my scope in today @ 100 yards, it is sitting on a 6mil spuhr mount. After zeroing it appears I only have 14.5 mills of adjustment. The 624i has 26 mils total elevation, so should I not have around 19 mils?

Not to be an Ass, but have you double checked your rifle completely? I seem to recall a thread where a similar question was asked and it turned out the shop had installed the 10 MOA rail backwards, so instead of 10 MOA rail + 30 MOA mount, he ended up with 20 MOA total...

And I think your scope is junk.... but don't worry, I will take it off your hands for a "fair" value....

Not necessarily. You are assuming if you used a flat mount the scope would zero at the exact middle of the elevation range.

haha yes I did double check the direction of the mount. and i am ring a CTR zero Moa rail.

I could be totally wrong but 4.5 mils seems to be a lot off...

Polite Question

I assume you have zeroed the elevation turret for full turret movement to have full elevation available.

Ive have not done this, so you do this before zeroing?

Yes. Your "missing" elevation is in the video between the hard mechanical stop at 0:31 and the stop at 0:53

The procedure is on pages 22-23 of the manual.

Okay thank you, I read the manual just not smart enough to keep up with those Austrians.

I'm wondering why someone would want to limit the upper stop.

 

[Alpheus]

I think it's a result of the turret/zerostop mechanism.

 

[Camoman1]

So I did the full mechanical reset and zeroed again. Still out about 4.5 mills, called Kahles/Swaro and they said its just my rifle/mount set up that is out of alignment, has anyone seen a set up that is out of alignment 4.5 mils?

Pretty sure I had 23 Mil of adjustment with my Kahles 624i sitting in my 4602 Spuhr (6 mil) .

but it was sitting on a 20 MOA rail.

So your only 2.5 mil different than mine. The way I'm thinking.

 

[Alpheus]

Coyote with a 25moa (7.2mil) base has 20.1mils of adjustment available (5.9mils unusable)
R700 .223 with a 0moa base has 17.9mils of adjustment available. (8.1mils unusable, or 2.1mils with 20moa base, or unable to zero at 100m with a 25moa base)

As you can see, my 223 naturally has the zero nearer to the bottom of the elevation range then the Coyote. Mere luck.

14.5mils will get a 308 175gr bullet to 1000m. If you need more, a 15-20-25MOA rail is an easy fix.
